    Went for Valentine’s Day and as we were seated the host/server said they were busy & short staffed. Not in a burdened way, just chit chat. We were not in a hurry so as long as we knew up front we were good. We started with the crab arancini and a bottle of Italian bubbles. Both were wonderful Special menu was hit & miss, but despite the likely slower that usual service the staff were wonderful. We may revisit for more arancini and to check out the Manhattan Project menu, or more bubbles, or both!

    The food was unremarkable. I had a tuna nicoise that was little more than tuna from a can (still in its signature circle from being in a can) placed on top of a salad.

    Went for a dinner. The ambiance was really nice. Food was ok. Gnocchi was weirdly like a mashed potato shaped into some shape rather than chewy. My non-alcoholic drink “Cue the Mint” was basically $8 lemonade. Mushroom bucatini was really good though. Keep in mind they close early.

    Our server was nice and checked in on us. As it was lunch time I expect that you just have to tell the server what was needed. Meal came timely and was very good. It’s a nice solid place to meet up for lunch and doesn’t break the bank.
